I have a universal joint connecting an actuator to a valve, and I need to determine if it's installation location does not cause the joint to exceed the maximum angle for that type of joint. Does anyone have a good reference that would give minimum and maximum angles for proper operation of a universal joint? Is there a standard for this or does it depend on the geometry of the joint? If it is geometry dependant, do you have a formula for calculating the maximum angle? Thanks.
